AI is making everyone web app builders - but leaving teams exposed
The rise of AI-assisted app development is democratizing the coding process, allowing individuals without traditional programming skills to create web applications. However, this shift raises significant security concerns, as many new developers may lack the knowledge to ensure their code is secure. As AI tools become mainstream, the gap between ease of development and the need for secure coding practices is widening.
- ▪AI-assisted software development is making it easier for non-specialists to build web applications.
- ▪A recent survey found that 84% of developers are using or planning to use AI tools in their workflow.
- ▪The transition to AI coding raises concerns about the security and maintenance of the code produced.
